Key Points

Rep. Kamlager-Dove introduced a bill called the Rejecting the Erasure of Afghan Women and Girls Act. It requires the State Department to write a detailed report on the rules the Taliban has placed on women and girls since taking control in August 2021.
The report must be finished within 180 days and sent to Congress. It would list all current restrictions, such as bans on girls going to school or women working certain jobs.
The bill also asks the government to officially decide if these restrictions are 'crimes against humanity' or 'torture.' Making this official could help the U.S. and other countries decide how to treat the Taliban on the world stage.
